April Fools | A BTS Fanfic

FORTY

"This is my girlfriend, Reese."

Taehyung just introduced his girlfriend to me in front of everybody, and I have no idea how to react. The members were all silent for a second, and just when I was about to open my mouth to say something, Reese walked toward me, giving me a short hug before smiling warmly.

"Hi. You must be Y/N. I've heard a lot about you from Taetae. It's nice to finally meet you." Taehyung had been talking about me to her? Why? She beamed at me, then walked back to where Taehyung was standing. He kissed her forehead, turning his back on me to face the members who were still silent, watching the three of us. I suddenly felt more uncomfortable than I did the moment I saw Taehyung, wishing I had just gone home after work instead of coming here. I knew this was going to be a bad idea.

"Y/N, come and sit, let's continue." Yoongi suddenly called my attention, and I nodded as I walked back to where I had been sitting. Taehyung and Reese watched us settle into a circle.

"Wait! OMG, are you playing Truth or Dare?"

"I think it's pretty obvious seeing there's a bottle in the middle," Yoongi responded without even looking at Reese, making me glance at him, then at the other members. I felt the tension rising in the room, but then I saw Jin trying to hold back his laugh. Was that supposed to be funny?

"Sounds fun!! Taetae and I want to join. You don't mind, do you?" Reese's sudden enthusiasm surprised me. My insides panicked at the thought of her joining the game. For sure, it would be even more awkward, but who was I to say no? I was about to say 'sure' when Jimin suddenly spoke up.

"Actually, we do. And also, we've been playing for hours now, so we're done. If you want, you and your Taetae can play together instead, since both of you like to 'play games.' I'm sure you'll both enjoy." Jimin stood up and walked closer to me, extending his hand. I looked up at him, and he nodded, signaling for me to grab his hand so I could get up. I did just that.

"Here, maybe you can use that bottle to knock some sense into Taehyung hyung," Jungkook added with a sly grin, handing the bottle to Reese, causing the other members to laugh.

"Ya, Jungkook-ah, you—" Taehyung shot Jungkook a death glare, but Reese suddenly cupped his face in her hands, forcing him to look at her.

"No, baby. It's fine. They must all be tired and sleepy. It's pretty late now. Let's just join them next time." Reese's voice was sweet—too sweet—as she spoke to Taehyung. Taehyung nodded and kissed her in front of us. Reese then wrapped her arms around his neck, deepening the kiss, making us look away. Too much PDA. But then again, I felt a slight pang in my heart seeing Taehyung with her. I unconsciously looked down at my fingers and started fidgeting with them.

"Noona. Let's go to my room and play Overwatch. I'll teach you how." Jungkook's loud, enthusiastic voice cut through the tension, maybe so Taehyung and Reese would realize we were still here. I smiled back at Jungkook, and he flashed his bunny smile at me, making me feel a little more relaxed.

"Ah, no, Kookie. Just do it tomorrow. It's late now. Y/N must be tired. Let's all sleep now." Jimin walked toward me and placed his hand on my waist, making me look back at him.

"You can sleep on my bed. Hoseokie hyung and I will just share his bed instead." Jimin smiled, and I nodded as we all walked toward the rooms, leaving Taehyung and Reese in the living room.

"Goodnight, guys. Sleep well!" Reese called out as the rest of us walked toward our rooms, but no one looked back. I glanced back at her and nodded, then entered Jimin's room. I don't know why, but her voice sounded too nice. Maybe she was trying too hard to win the members' approval? I don't know. Ugh, Y/N, stop overthinking.

"Goodnight, Y/N. Don't think about it too much. I know it's a shock to see Taehyung with her. We were just as surprised as you are, but I'm proud of you for staying so casual. You're a really strong girl. Sorry I had to stop the game and tell them we've been playing for a while when we've only just started. I just figured you'd feel uncomfortable if they joined us." Jimin tucked me in like I was a little girl being asked to sleep early by her dad.

"Thank you, Jimin. You're really my lifesaver. I owe you a lot." Jimin kissed my forehead and went to sleep beside Hoseok, who was already peacefully sleeping in his bed. I closed my eyes and dozed off after Jimin turned off the light.

"Good morning, everyone! Have a seat. I made breakfast." Reese was already in the kitchen when we arrived at the dining area. Jin didn't look impressed but didn't say a word, sitting down and making the rest of us follow without speaking.

Of all the places at the table, Reese and Taehyung had to sit across from me, making me feel too uncomfortable to eat. How could I eat peacefully when these lovebirds couldn't take their hands off each other for even a minute? Reese kept clinging to Taehyung and asking him to feed her. Last night, I convinced myself she was a nice girl, but seeing her like this now, I'm starting to think she's doing it on purpose. I had the urge to roll my eyes at them but held back, not wanting to start an argument. It still hurt seeing Taehyung with her, but this girl was too much.

After eating, I volunteered to clean up the plates so the other members could clean up the mess we made last night during the game.

"Oh, I'll help Y/N clean up since I was the one who cooked breakfast. It would be embarrassing to make her clean up the mess I made," Reese suddenly said, standing up to grab the plates from the table. Jin nodded and stood up as well, the rest of the members followed suit and began cleaning up the living room.

"So you and Taehyung pretended to be dating for April Fools?" Reese casually struck up a conversation as we washed the plates.

"Uh, yeah. It was Jungkook's idea, and they convinced me to say yes to the prank."

"I see. But why Taehyung? There are seven members in BTS. Why did you pick him?" Huh? Wasn't it Taehyung who volunteered to be the boyfriend?

"Well, actually it was—"

"Oh, it's okay. You don't have to tell me. Taehyung already told me anyway. I know he was vulnerable during that time, so you picked him, maybe hoping he'd actually like you? I don't know." I suddenly stopped what I was doing and turned to face her, furrowing my brow. What the freak is she saying?

"I'll tell you something. At first, I was really jealous of you, thinking Taehyung and I might not get back together because you're in the way. But right now, I don't see anything special about you, so I have nothing to feel threatened by. I don't even know why Jimin adores you so much. I mean, no offense, but you're not even pretty."

Reese then washed her hands and bumped her shoulder too harshly into mine as she walked away, not even giving me a chance to defend myself. I fought to hold back my tears, not wanting to cause drama, knowing the members would throw a fit if they found out what just happened. I finished cleaning the plates and went straight to the living room where they were all gathered.
